Chapter 199: Fierce Battle in the South of the City
Not to mention Yang Huaiyu, even Lord Lin's own patience was almost exhausted, looking at the thick dust and smoke outside the north gate, he couldn't help frowning slightly: Could it be that I really guessed wrong?
"Boom~~~" Suddenly, there was a roaring sound from the direction of the green forest, which woke up Xu Gangdi and pondered, he hurriedly looked up, only to see people and horses rushing out of the forest, about 1,000 people, holding fire horses, all dressed as officers and soldiers, but all with hideous faces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Get out of the camp and build a second defense!" Yang Huaiyu gave an order with a solemn face, and all the soldiers suddenly moved, withdrew from the camp, regrouped not far away, and established a defensive line, because there was no defense in the camp, and the camp tent also seriously affected the frequent combat.
After the formation was completed, a group of giant shield soldiers suddenly walked to the front, raised their shields high, and then followed a team of archers, and after the opponent entered the firing range, they continued to release the bowstring in their hands, and immediately rushed towards the enemy group like arrows.
"Ah~~" There was a burst of screams from the enemy group, and at least more than 100 people were shot off their horses, and then trampled into meat sauce by the hooves of the horses that followed behind.
The enemy was all on horseback, although there were only more than a thousand people, but the momentum was extraordinary, and after sacrificing two or three hundred people, they finally rushed not far away!
"Kill-" The more than 1,000 cavalrymen seemed to be crazy, their eyes were red, and they stabbed their backhands into the buttocks of the war horses under their crotches.
Gradually, more than 100 people rushed to the front of the group and pulled some distance from the people behind......
"Gunpowder !!" Xu Gang took a closer look, and found that the people who rushed to the front were all bulging, and instantly remembered the loud noise in the north of the city, and hurriedly exclaimed.
Yang Huaiyu was also shocked when he heard this, and shouted angrily: "Shoot!" Shoot! Shoot! ”
The archers also heard Xu Gang's words, and they couldn't care about the soreness on their arms anymore, and the arrows in the air were like locusts flying in the ground, shooting towards the opponent's horse team.
"Ahh
"Cunning dog thing!" Yang Huaiyu also looked at it intently, and suddenly understood that it turned out that these knights' legs were tied to the horse's belly, even if they were shot, their bodies were still galloping with the war horse, and the gunpowder tied to them could also be ignited by their companions, or ignited by the sparks that exploded.
"Kill !!" This distance was only for the fast horse, and in an instant, the more than 100 people roared at the same time, igniting the gunpowder on the ground on their bodies and the gunpowder on the bodies of their death partners next to them.
Several knights who were running fast had already rushed to the position of the main camp, and the gunpowder on their bodies also exploded in response, and the loud bang suddenly shook people's eardrums.
Bows and arrows were fired one after another, and more than half of the people were killed and wounded in the blink of an eye, but the horse carried their corpses to the camp, and the gunpowder bag fuse on their bodies also made a "sizzling" sound.
The sound of the explosion of the gunpowder pack shook the earth and made the earth buzz, and the light was useless, Xu Gang frowned lightly, and roared violently: "Shoot the horse's legs!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the arrows roared violently, shooting directly between the legs of the horses, and this action really worked, in the front of the ground several horses turned on their backs, and the knights behind them trampled mercilessly, and the gunpowder exploded one after another, and in the fire, countless armor was scattered, flesh and blood flew sideways, and more than two hundred men and horses, even across into a sea of fire, burst one after another like igniting the ground cannonball.
At last six or seven horses crossed the sea of fire, stepped through the camp, and rushed to the front of the group, and in the violent explosion, dozens of archers and giant shield soldiers were killed.
"Kill—" The battle was not over here, and a few miles away from the assembly site, suddenly there was another shout to the sky, and then the horses' hooves trampled on the earth, and the sound of knocking was endless, reaching everyone's ears.
A scout hurriedly entered the camp to report: "General, ten miles away from our army, a large number of men and horses suddenly appeared, the number of which was three thousand away!" ”
"What?!" Yang Huaiyu's expression changed greatly, he looked at Xu Gang and said: "General Xu, what should we do, if there are three more thousand cavalry, we can't stop it at all, I can't imagine that the traitor king actually has so many horses." ”
Xu Gang's expression was also extremely solemn at the moment, and he sighed: "More violently, maybe it's still behind!" ”
Yang Huaiyu also sighed, and at the same time, a trace of essence spread in his eyes, and he said to the scout: "Quickly pass the order, set up the formation, with the archers in front, the infantry will be deployed according to the formation, and the officers and soldiers of the whole army are only allowed to advance, not retreat, and the violators will be dealt with by military law!" ”
"Obey!" A few scouts hurried.
"General Xu, you go back to the city first." The rumbling cannon sounded, and the ground was trembling under the feet, Yang Huaiyu knew that this was the enemy entering the firing range, he was a little worried about Xu Gang's safety, and put forward a suggestion to let Xu Gang return to the city.
"Not necessarily!" Xu Gang waved his hand lightly, and naturally he would not retreat.
"General Xu~~~" Yang Huaiyu still wanted to persuade again.
"Needless to say, Brother Yang, hurry up and arm!" Xu Gang's tone was firm, and he also borrowed a bow and arrow from the soldiers around him, and was ready to join the battle casually.
Yang Huaiyu was about to speak again, when he suddenly felt a tremor in the earth, and the lush woods not far from the camp suddenly burst into several thick fires, which burned in an instant, and the fire took advantage of the wind to rush from the woods on both sides of the official road to the camp.
"Fire Attack !!" Thinking of the previous arrangement, Yang Huaiyu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if it wasn't for Xu Gang's words to wake up, I don't know how many brothers would be killed or injured today, because the southeast wind blew inexplicably in the past two days.
The fire was fierce, and several tents on the side of the camp burned in a moment.
Yang Huaiyu was afraid for a while, looked at Xu Gang and said, "General Xu, what should I do now?" ”
"Wait!!" Xu Gang gritted his teeth and said slowly: "The more dangerous it is, the more critical it is." The traitor king has made so many moves and lit wars everywhere, it must be to disturb our judgment, so that it will be convenient for him to escape while he is in chaos! Tell the brothers to line up and kill the enemy immediately. In addition, he informed Deputy Envoy Di that there was an enemy situation in the south and that there were many cavalry, so he asked for support. ”
In the distance, countless crossbows were fired in unison, intercepting the more than 1,000 enemy troops who were attacking, and the fires on both sides of the official road became more and more fierce, and thick smoke rose into the sky, enveloping Xu Gang's position.
"General Xu, look at !!" Yang Huaiyu suddenly raised his hand and screamed. (To be continued.) )
